On Thursday, March 28, 2013, Rep. Kelly – a member of the House Ways & Means subcommittees on Human Resources, Oversight, and Social Security – appeared on Varney & Co. to discuss how to combat and discourage disability insurance fraud.

Rep Kelly:

"The people that raised me told me, 'Look, you going to get knocked down from time to time. The only real problem you have is not getting back up or not wanting to get back up.' When you don't want to get back up -- when you don't want to become part of the solution and not part of the problem -- that's where the problem lies. ... We've got to go back to what made us great. What made America great was their [the greatest generation's] work ethic; it was their ability to look beyond and to look to the future all the time and say, 'I can be part of that.' We need to get back to that."
